Istražite Tweed Heads
Na sjevernom rubu Novog Južnog Walesa u Australiji nalazi se grad Tweed Heads i njegov blizanac - Coolangatta. Dva grada su spojena, tvoreći gotovo neprekinuti grad tamo gdje se rijeka Tweed Heads susreće s Tihim oceanom.
Dva ronilačka centra koja ovdje postoje nude tečajeve ronjenja svih razina. Još uvijek nema ronilačkih odmarališta ili smještaja za boravak na brodu. Ronjenje ovdje je jedinstveno po mješavini toplijih i hladnijih voda, stvarajući mješavinu vrsta. Neke od vrsta koje se ističu uključuju zelene kornjače, bakalare, slijepe morske pse, sive morske pse dadilje i morske pse bikove. Možete čak vidjeti i grbave kitove!
Najbolji mjeseci za ronjenje u Tweed Headsu
Ronjenje na Tweed Headsu moguće je tijekom cijele godine zbog blage klime. Ljetni mjeseci (studeni - ožujak) su topliji, i u vodi i izvan nje, s temperaturama zraka od 28°C i temperaturama vode koje dosežu 27°C.
Tijekom zime (svibanj - rujan), prosječna dnevna temperatura je 20°C, a voda može biti hladna i do 17°C. Iako ljeto ima najugodniju temperaturu za ronjenje, vidljivost može biti bolja od jeseni do proljeća.
